PulseAudio Phonon Support now in KDE trunk and heading towards 4.4

“There were a few teething problems due to some last minute
merges I did (which I clearly didn’t test properly – my bad)

simple patch for you here, that distro packagers are welcome to
stealliberate from the Mandriva SVN. If you do this, you’ll also
need to apply this minor patch to phonon:”
